conviction. I am going through a divorce. My wife left me for infidelity reasons. i know i was in the wrong and I can admit it. I dont want to be that way anymore. I have lost everything I had basically. Family, most of my business, houses, cars, money, everything. I have gotten back together with an old girlfriend and went straight to the deep end. We have goten engaged before i have even completed my divorce. I was recently given a booklet at the hospital that says be greatful and thank the lord for everything tht happens because no matter how bad it is he has to allow it to happen and he allows it to happen for a reason. i am trying to be thankful for losing everything although i dont understand it. now i am feeling very heavy conviction for my engagement and for living with my fiance. I feel we need to call off the engagement and not live together at least until i have a finalized divorce. at the same time i dont want my fiance to think she is not important and leave. What a mess. advice needed. what does the bible say? help!!!!

Well I am gonna first tell you to go with your gut. If that tells you to postpone the engagement than stand up and do it. I should tell you that I am from the side of the relationship where my spouse broke our vows and had an affair with a co worker. We worked hard for 18 months to "fix" our marriage but alas we are separated now for the last 8 weeks. I did everthing right I thought I forgave him and became his strongest ally and friend. But it was no match for the person he worked with who has 2 children out of wedlock and seems to have told my husband that he needs to be happy. Nevermind how many people in our family will be unhappy. I have searched the bible for months now and read several books. Max Lucado has a great book out called Facing your Giants, it is a quick and easy read. Actually most of his books and quotes are so inspirational! check him out.

Crellygirl I've got some giants I'm facing too, but God seems to be using it all to bring me closer to Him and strengthen my faith. How are you doing? I might check out that book too.
I'm just new here and looking for friends.
JS I suggest you post your question in "bible discussion". I am not sure if the scriptures you're seeking are about adultery, fornication, divorce... you can do a search on scriptures that address each of those topics but that sounds pretty heavy. I've not been to seminary, I usually bring toughies to my pastor and ask him. Do you have a church/ pastor you can talk to?

I do believe that God is the only one qualified to give the answers you are seeking. I suggest that if you do not yet have a personal relationship with god to recieve the answers you need. You have to establish that relationship first through fervent prayer and truely searching for God with all you have. Because honestly speaking, if you do not have the holy spirit. Nothing else will work. Jesus died for us sinners to be able to recieve the holy spirit through Gods grace. I hope you recieve the holy spirit soon!
